Congratulations to
National Teaching Award Nominee
Therese Claire
Whatcom Middle School, Bellingham, Washington
Student Nomination Story
Ms. Claire is the BEST teacher! She is super kind and really cares about how you are feeling. Every Monday she asks us about our weekend and is truly curious about what we did. I remember one time this kid was having a hard time and being really mean to her. She still gave him the same amount of attention and love she gave everybody else. She never raised her voice once. she is hilariously funny and I will remember her forever. She has this way of getting kids to learn; whatever works best for them, she is ok with it. Ms. Claire also coaches the girl's dance and tumbling team. even after a whole day of teaching and dealing with kids, she sticks around and coaches the team. I respect her a lot and I will be SUPER sad when the end of the year comes around. Ms. Claire totally deserves to be recognized as the awesome teacher she is.
